write an expression for the situation 14 fewer than 4 times 9
(4x9)-14
14 < 36
14 fewer than four is 4 - 14. then times nine would be 4 - 14 x 9
ok thanks for the english lesson sue, im not english native
This question, as it is expressed, is unanswerable!
You could interpret it as what is 14 fewer(less than) the sum of 4x9
@suzi20 wat??
well either way you have to solve this in pemdas form so if you were to solve this it would go 4 x 9 - 14 I see what u mean
you just told us, 14 fewer than 4 meaning is 4 - 14, i thought 14 fewer than 4 is 14 less than 4
oh ok ;) glad I could help...
But what @nabizag said was also correct
if what was @nabizag said was correct, then my answer was correct too
Any one of us could be correct, the person asking the question needs to use proper grammar in order for us to accurately interpret the question.
